Rise of the Lustful Evil Monarch (Re)

Chapter 625: An Unreasonable Young Man

Only within the foremost academy of the entire Northern Glacial Region, where the finest teachers, the richest magical resources, and the greatest opportunities gathered—could her talent truly flourish and eventually shine upon the world.

"What is your elemental affinity, young man?"

The old artifact master suddenly broke the silence.

Although his voice remained calm, there was now a faint trace of impatience hidden within it.

For the past several minutes, he had quietly observed Ethan inspecting each weapon one after another without uttering a single opinion or showing the slightest intention of making a choice.

Instead of asking about the quality of the weapons or seeking the opinion of their creator, the young man simply continued studying them in silence, as though evaluating them according to standards known only to himself.

Master Drogo found that behavior increasingly displeasing.

To him, every weapon displayed inside the wooden case was the culmination of years of his painstaking effort, countless failures, and decades of craftsmanship.

They weren’t merely tools forged from rare ores.

Each one represented a masterpiece that embodied his life’s work.

Yet the young man before him examined them with an expression so casual that it almost felt disrespectful.

However, Ethan behaved as though he hadn’t heard the old man’s question at all.

His crimson eyes continued moving across the display of magical weapons.

For a brief moment, they paused upon the sinister purple scythe before shifting toward the icy-blue broadsword resting nearby.

Compared to the other weapons, those two attracted his attention the most.

The scythe emitted a sinister aura that reminded him vaguely of darkness and death, while the broadsword radiated an incomparably pure ice-element aura that resonated faintly with his own affinity.

Neither of them was ordinary, and Ethan naturally sensed that much.

As for Master Drogo’s question, he deliberately ignored it.

It wasn’t because he hadn’t heard it.

Rather, he simply had no intention of answering.

From the old man’s expression and subtle change in tone, Ethan could already sense the dissatisfaction hidden beneath his words.
